Lyrics:

Well I left my home down on a rural route
I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
Forget the honky tonk blues,
Hey the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Well I went to a dance and wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose
That jumpin' honky tonk blues
Those weary honky tonk blues
Oh Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Well I stopped into every place in town
this city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
Get right back to my pappy's farm
Forget the honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
Don't wanna be bothered with the honky tonk blues...
